10/04/2013

Were off to the Monaco Grand Prix! Navan man John Corrigan claims Topazs second Play or Park Experience of a Lifetime.

John Corrigan from Navan was overjoyed to hear that he and his wife and two daughters will be jetting off to The Monaco Grand Prix in a few months time. The self employed truck driver is over the moon with his prize and is looking forward to a trip of a lifetime.

Im a regular customer at Topaz in Shannon If Im not filling up Im dropping in for a coffee. Ive never been to Monaco and have been a huge fan of Formula 1 for many years so we are really looking forward to it, and my wife and daughters are really looking forward to doing some shopping too John said.

John was presented with his prize by Topaz Area Manager for the West Kevin McGinley at the Topaz Shannon Service Station in Co. Clare. Kevin said everyone at Topaz was delighted for John and wished him and his family well on their travels.

The objective of Play or Park was to come up with a unique and fun way of rewarding customers for their loyalty. Every month well be giving away an experience of a lifetime; be it a shopping trip to New York with three friends (with 8,000 spending money), a new car (with free fuel for a year), a tour of various Michelin starred restaurants around Europe, or a trip to Thailand. The key difference with other loyalty schemes is that everyone who plays each month is eligible for a complimentary Topaz Treat eg: coffee and muffin, car wash etc. So all our regular customers are winners McGinley said.

Topaz, which is the countrys largest fuels and convenience retailer, launched Play or Park in early February and already over 80,000 people have registered to play it.

To enter the game customers collect points which enable them to PLAY for an experience of a lifetime prize every month or they can choose to PARK them and carry them forward to participate in a following months game.

McGinley pointed out that there is also a very important charity element to the game; Every quarter players can opt to play for a donation to a local charity of their choice and a cash prize for themselves. Topaz will match all those donations with a donation to our own charity partner Aware, which is doing tremendous work helping those suffering from depression he said.
